WHY can't they leave GOOD messages on voicemail??????? I HATE having to "contact the office as soon as I can!"!!!!!
Found out my insurance company that has cut me off has sent further letters to my doctors asking for more information!!! Why??? Are they building ammunition in case I "recur" and have to go back on LTD??? I told one doctor to NOT answer the letter as I was no longer covered!!
(The letters also said that the insurance company would pay the first $75 of the cost for the report and the patient (ME!!!) would pay the rest!!!! PLEASE don't spend my money for me! I do that quite well myself....sheesh!!!)

BEAUTIFUL and joyful blankets!! You have had a good thing come out of a stressful situation sl...well done!!!
Melissa, my previous company is paying my benefits until mid-December so theorectically I'm still with Great West Life (insurance company). My company told GWL that they DID have a job for me which they didn't!!!!! So my ex-company is "buying" me out by paying 18 weeks of full-pay and continuing my benefits till then as well. Nice, but I still need a JOB!!!!!!!!!! So, if I "recur" I can just see the fight now!!! I'm not employed by my previous company, but AM being paid by them!!! I have been terminated as of July 31st.

As long as you still have coverage you are required to comply with their requests so don't tell the doctor not to do the report. Sorry, but I worked for a health insurance co. (Not disability, but I know...) for thirteen years and this is a big no no. You might find that if you do recur your coverage has been cancelled for noncompliance.

Thanks everyone. I want to make a choo choo train one next and then I am going to make one for each of my girls and my 4 nieces so they will have them for when they have children. It keeps me focused on the blanket and my mind doesn't run crazy with "what ifs" Crafts definately help I am hoping I will be able to crochet some after the bmx, te and reconstruction.

clwhetstone,
I'm sure you will be able to crochet after your surgery. I was knitting like crazy after mine-it kept me sane.

thank you juliaanna
I find that I worry about some of the dumbest things lately. I am over anxious these days waiting for a date for surgery is about to drive me over the edge. I want to have everything done and completed by 12/31/2013 I don't want to deal with anything other than follow up and check in appointments in 2014. LOL

Good luck with getting everything out of the way. Back in 2011 I was trying for the same thing - unfortunately, it didn't work out for me - but hope it all goes well for you!!!

I finally finished my first "real", as in bed-sized quilt. I was really happy with how it came out.

WOW is right. That is beautiful. I'm looking forward to making a quilt one of these days.

What size should I be using when I load these pictures? Obviously I need to make them smaller. I know you can adjust them, but I don't know what dimensions are good.

I usually try to stay smaller than 650 x 550, don't know what other people do, though....
0 -
That's about the range that I use also.

Let's try this

Do NOT make the pictures smaller!! They are perfect and so is your quilt!!!! You did AMAZING!!! What a joyful, fun project. You MUST be very proud of yourself!!!!!
Melissa, about insurance, they are under the assumption that I continued with my current job. They have no idea that I was let go as my company had told them that "of course they had a job for me!" They didn't. But, they are paying my coverage until mid-December. It is just for extra benefits like prescriptions and PT and such. I get general medical coverage from the government, so I've still got that. Nobody believes that they'd renew my long-term disability anyway if I had to stop working again! I haven't even STARTED working again as I can't find a bloody job!!!!! They wanted ALL the doctors notes (Psychiatrist) from our meetings. Umm, NO. This isn't a homicide or something!! That is pretty private shit. Though seriously it was mostly about being so stressed by being off work and on half-pay!!!! I can understand them wanting specialists like surgeons and stuff, but not psychiatry!!!

Melissa, What a joy it would be to wake up under that quilt! I love the happy colors. I'm so impressed because you began quilting such a short time ago.

Many employers think they have the upper hand because they've got the job and you want the job. They get a bit big for their britches as a result. Asking for psychiatric records is out of line - as is asking for your facebook password, and some do that, too.

Melissa, the quilt is beautiful.
Barbe, hope you can get your insurance straightened out and you are able to get a job.

Melissa, I am super impressed with your quilt. I wish I could make something that beautiful, especially in such a relatively short period of time. WOW-love the colors!
